Biography
Sid Ahmed Ghlam was born in 1992 in Algeria, and he moved to France in 2009 to study computer science in Paris. In February 2015, he flew to Turkey and attempted to join the Islamic State in Syria, but he was turned back by authorities, and he returned to France. Ghlam decided to carry out a terrorist attack at home, and he plotted a massacre spree at two churches in Villejuif. He shot 33-year-old fitness instructor Aurelie Chatelain several times in her car at a car park, and he accidentally shot himself in the leg as police approached. This put an end to his spree shooting plans, and he was imprisoned for his crimes; an arsenal of weapons was later discovered.
